TrippNT Pipette Storage Bin PVC 4 Compartments | Serological Angled Desktop Column 50272

Technical Narrative

The TrippNT 50272 Pipette Storage Bin PVC 4 Compartments is a procurement-grade benchtop serological and volumetric pipette organizer engineered for laboratories where 4 sizes or categories of glass or plastic pipettes must be stored upright, tips-down at a forward angle, and accessible without disturbing adjacent instruments. Four angled ¼″ white PVC column compartments hold pipettes at a comfortable reach-and-grip angle, preventing the tip contact and cross-contamination that results from storing pipettes horizontally in a drawer or rolling loose on a bench surface. At 3¾″ W x 20½″ H x 11½″ D, the column profile fits in narrow bench zones — behind a spectrophotometer, beside a titration stand, or in the interior of a biological safety cabinet — without the wide footprint of a horizontal tray organizer.

The 2.95 lb finished weight and 11½″ D base provide a stable center of gravity even when all four columns are loaded with longer 25 mL or 50 mL glass pipettes. Keyhole slots on the rear panel allow optional wall mounting, converting the unit from a desktop bin to a wall-mounted vertical organizer for permanent BSC interior or bench-panel installations. The non-porous ¼″ white PVC substrate withstands routine wipe-down with 70% IPA and dilute sodium hypochlorite. Ships fully assembled. Backed by TrippNT’s 100% Lifetime Guarantee. The companion clear acrylic version (50112) provides identical geometry with full visual-through sides for environments requiring inventory-level monitoring without removing pipettes.

Technical Specifications

Laboratory and Clinical Applications

The 50272 is deployed across regulated and research environments requiring organized point-of-use serological and volumetric pipette staging, including academic chemistry and biology teaching labs, microbiology benches and BSL-2 biological safety cabinet interiors, pharmaceutical QC titration and assay benches, clinical laboratory serology and chemistry benches, cell culture and tissue culture hood interior staging, biotechnology R&D liquid-handling stations, environmental analytical chemistry pipette organization, histology and grossing-station wet-lab pipette staging, food-and-beverage QC analytical pipette stations, forensic serology and chemistry benches, veterinary diagnostic laboratory benches, and industrial QC liquid-handling stations. The narrow 3¾″ W footprint is specifically valued for BSC interior use where sash clearance and work zone access are constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pipette sizes and brands fit the four column compartments, and does the angled design accommodate both short 1 mL and long 50 mL serological pipettes?

The four angled column compartments accommodate standard-diameter serological pipettes from BD Falcon, Corning, Greiner, and Thermo Fisher Scientific in sizes from 1 mL to 50 mL. Shorter 1 mL and 2 mL pipettes sit at the bottom of the column with adequate clearance for the cotton plug end; longer 25 mL and 50 mL serological pipettes stand fully upright within the 20½″ H column height. Volumetric glass pipettes (Class A and B, TD and TC) from standard suppliers also fit. The 3¾″ W column interior accommodates individually sleeved pipettes as well as unpackaged glass pipettes simultaneously.

How does the white PVC 50272 compare to the clear acrylic 50112 — when do I specify each?

The 50272 (white PVC, $142.58) and 50112 (clear acrylic, $185.25) share the same 4-column angled geometry and identical footprint. Specify the 50272 when per-unit cost is the primary driver, when the white PVC integrates better with an all-white lab furniture aesthetic, or when the side-profile visibility of acrylic is not needed. Specify the 50112 when column inventory level must be visible from the side without removing pipettes — relevant in 5S lean environments with visual management standards or in BSC interiors where viewing angle is limited.
